Established in 2015, we are a mental health practice based in New Delhi providing individual psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and couples therapy for adults.
Our work is deep, immersive, and thoughtful. We center our practice on the premise that meaningful change requires staying with what is for the moment, unformed: the feelings and thoughts that have not yet fully taken shape. This process occurs within a space of reflection and sustained engagement in relationship with another person, the therapist. It is in this space that our internal world of experience and relationships becomes alive for sensing and knowing.
The Psychotherapist Collective is a shared psychoanalytic practice of four psychotherapists and psychoanalysts dedicated to providing a space for depth-oriented psychotherapy and psychoanalytic work. Our dream of a collaborative practice was born from a vision of creating a conducive space for depth work in therapy for enduring change.
We are each trained in the psychoanalytic tradition of psychology and psychotherapy. All psychotherapists at the Collective hold advanced postgraduate qualifications in clinical psychology and psychotherapy, and we continue to think and write about our clinical work in various forums such as journals, conferences, newspapers, and magazines. We are not only practitioners but participants in the living tradition of psychoanalytic thought.
Our clinic offers a private, confidential setting where adults from age 21 onward can seek help.
We are not a counselling service or a quick-fix centre. The work we do is process oriented, and thus slower and deeper.

There is, after all, no life without trauma; indeed, the word misleadingly makes us think of something being interrupted, rather than of something integral, something essential to our lives. So much depends on what we can make of what happens to us, and on what we make of what we do; on our being able to metabolize or digest our experience; on our capacity or willingness to transform our experience rather than be merely victimized by it. When getting better doesn't only mean getting safer, it means being able to risk feeling more alive, to risk taking risks, to risk learning and not learning from experience.
